ETNA GREEN -ÊA Rochester man is dead following a one-car accident Thursday afternoon between Etna Green and Mentone.
Robert Bruce, 46, of Rochester, was pronounced dead from massive head injuries at the scene of the crash at the intersection of Ind. 19 and CR 200S.
Around 12:38 p.m. Thursday, Bruce was driving a white 1994 Chevrolet car on Ind. 19 when he passed two vehicles. Police believe Bruce's car left the western edge of the road, then Bruce overcorrected to return to Ind. 19. Once back on the road, the car slid out of control, crossing Ind. 19 and leaving the eastern edge of the road. The car then hit an embankment and concrete corner post before rolling several times.
When emergency personnel arrived at the scene of the crash, they found the car on its top in the northeast corner of the intersection.
The accident remains under investigation.
